 News: More unwanted advertising in your lives. Going on a holiday to get away from all the stresses and hustle bustle? Let iSign, a Florida company, disrupt your holiday time with their new advertising angle. Comments in italics are my opinions only: iSIGN Media and RTown Communications Partner to Reach Over 5 Million Hotel Guests Monthly Through In-Room TV and Mobile Devices 08:00 EST Friday, Apr 08, 2011 New Interactive Messaging Solution Being Rolled Out Across Hotel and Resort Network in Canada to Increase Customer Engagement, Advertising Revenues. Hey, screw off, I am sick of advertisers, ads, BS and what have you in my regular day to day world. Now you want to bother me while I'm on holidays too? Well maybe I don't want to "interact" with my Effing hotel that wants to facilitate pushy sales pitches. LEAVE ME AND MY MONEY ALONE, YOU SCUMMY CORPORATISTS! VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new licensing agreement reached between iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: ISD) and RTown Communications is about to change the way that hotels and advertisers communicate with hotel guests. Starting in early June 2011, iSIGN Media's IMS 3.1 interactive messaging software will be installed into RTown's digital signage network of 27,000 hotel rooms in 346 locations across Canada to interact directly with guests' mobile devices through Bluetooth? technology, known as proximity marketing. Through iSIGN Media's technology that allows digital signs to 'talk and interact' with guests' mobile devices, advertisers on the RTown's Hotel TV network can deliver branded content, special offers and coupons, discounts, loyalty program messages and other rich-media offerings of guests' choosing directly onto their mobile devices. Roll-out will commence with integration of iSIGN's technology into RTown's existing digital signage network in hotels in Vancouver, Whistler, and Kowlona. First of all it's Kelowna, not Kowlona. Secondly I don't want coupons, discount info, branded content from my hotel while I'm on a holiday or business trip. I'm BUSY so stop trying to encroach on every aspect of my life so I can't relax. How do I opt out of this stupid thing? My advice to traveller's is do NOT give the hotel your cell phone number unless they promise not to spam you "With the largest digital signage and in-house TV network for hotels and resorts in Canada, we are very excited to enhance our offering by teaming with iSIGN Media. We're now able to give our advertisers the ability to communicate with millions of hotel guests every month via their mobile phones, while capturing and measuring meaningful customer data. Our advertisers can now reach hotel guests wherever they are ? in the room, lobby, restaurant, bar or even out on the slopes. It's the most powerful way for our advertisers to engage with hotel guests yet," said Don McQuaid, Founder of RTown Communications. OH GOD NO!!!!!! NO, NO, NO, LEAVE ME ALONE. I CAN'T SKI AS IT IS AND YOU WANT TO CALL ME WHILE I'M ON THE SLOPES? YOU CAN READ THE REST IF YOU WANT BUT YOU HAVE TO BE A REAL FRIGGEN MORONIC CORPORATIST TO INVEST IN SUCH A COMPANY. Smartphone Surge Highlights the Always Connected Hotel Guest The surge in smartphone ownership in North America (69.5 million current smartphone owners according to latest data from comScore) highlights the increasingly connected and "always on" hotel guest. The joint RTown and iSIGN offering enables advertisers to reach these connected hotel guests at maximum moments of influence: * 98% of hotel guests turn on their television set within 5 minutes of entering their hotel rooms (Hilton Hotels Corp), and; * 74% of visitors tune into Resort TV on average 2.3 times per day (CustomFit Communications). Hotel Market Embraces New Advertising Technology Don McQuaid of RTown says that the hotel and resort market is ready to communicate with guests using the most effective and immediate channels available. "Over the past 12 months, we have seen the demand for in-room television and signage networks grow significantly. Our agreement with iSIGN enables hotels to send guests targeted, destination-relevant offerings and event announcements directly to their mobile devices from our TV network in each room, hotel commerce areas, or even outdoors." Anticipated Advertising Revenues, Increased Engagement "Advertising budgets are increasingly turning to mobile and digital-out-of-home channels as they are proving to be so effective. iSIGN's patent-pending Bluetooth? proximity marketing solution gives advertisers the ability to capture and measure data in real-time to improve campaign effectiveness and achieve higher ROI, and avoids costs and privacy concerns traditionally associated with SMS marketing. The advertisers on the RTown network can connect with guests quickly, cheaply and effectively," said Alex Romanov, CEO of iSIGN Media. With a potential reach of more than 5 million guests per month, RTown expects to increase revenue by at least 50% during the 3-year agreement with iSIGN.
